Multiple choice question.

The air that contains moisture to its full capacity:


The atmosphere has a fixed water-holding capacity, dependent on its temperature at any time. When the water content in the air is equal to this capacity, the air is saturated.

B is incorrect. Specific Humidity refers to the amount of water vapour present in the air per gram of air mass.


C is incorrect. Absolute humidity refers to the amount of water vapour present in the air per metre cube, regardless of the temperature of the air.
